    I'm wondering where I should look to buy one.

    I ordered from NCIX, but they have to order it in from overseas as their supplier doesn't have any, and they have also suggested to me to possibly look at other retailers.

    The thing is that I need to have it within a month of purchase in order to send in the $200 rebate, and I could see it taking longer than that.

    I see that Premier Computer has it, but with me in Ontario also I would pay PST on it (don't want to do).

    I doubt anyone would come close to NCIX's price - $2010 (PP price).

    TIA for any suggestions.

    There is a $200 rebate coming off the $2000 as well. Plus the V6VA has the IPS screen.

    I checked Canadasys, they only have limited numbers of the V6V.

    I sure hope I'm not going to miss out.

    there is quite a difference between v6va and v6v .. i suppose v6v has more battery life and runs cooler
